All-Purpose Hockey Thread II

[MertWindu]

And I begin this one with a call to arms. This Bruin fan may not have a dog in the fight, but I can still stand up and demand better.

Screw the Buffaslug.

Check out this guy's redesign of the Sabres uniforms and wordmarks and go sign the petition to end the madness.

Not sure if I like the alternate jerseys, but I love the old look. Reminds me of when I had to get used to the Penguins' dove-looking triangle logo that never sat well with me. Just never quite seemed right. When they brought the skating Penguin back, all was right in the world again.

Those uniforms are awful. What is going on in Buffalo?

Yeah, I agree that the thirds aren't great, although the throwback-esque alternates are pretty hot.

I do like the throwbacks myself but come on really the sabres are going to blow this if they do these uniforms.

 

[Trey Beamon]

Those jerseys (the yellow one, too) look fantastic.

Wait, you mean the ones on the site? You think that they would be bad in comparison to the crap they're putting on this year? Are you ****ing blind?

 

[Claws for Concern]

Just glad to see the new hockey thread. The Olympics were great to see and cover, but that's so 2005-06 season.

Bring on the new season!

If anybody's interested, I set up another SportsJournalists.com hockey league on yahoo.

League name: Son of SportsJournalists.com WHA League
Password: moddyrules

It's set up as an autopick draft that will take place once the league is full.

 

[BigDog]

However, it is not a league endorsed by the NIA alliance, so therefore, it's crap.

 

[beefncheddar]

Doesn't the "NIA alliance" have its own thread it can hang out at?

That just drove me to join the new league.

I'd say Mert comes closest, especially with the words Nitro and Arrogance in there. Very nicely done.

I don't know how much Yahoo! is doing this, but they have a link off of the NHL scoreboard where you can watch the Leafs-Devils game live:

[Claws for Concern]

OK, I'm ready to fully convert to Hockey Thread 2, Electric Boogaloo

 

[leo1]

nice start to the season by the wild. any chance they're a legitimate threat this year? and i'm not talking about a seventh seed and then out in the first round. can lemaire actually have them playing un-lemaire like hockey?

 

[Claws for Concern]

The Blues are coming back with a vengeance this year. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 15, no, 20 wins!

20 wins!!

Mike Kitchen gets fired. I think that's a safer limb.
